B-5CV FEATURES: ♦ Loaded vinyl noise barriers ♦ Reinforced, non-reinforced, transparent and foil-faced lag styles ♦ Mass loaded barriers from 1/2 lb. to 2 lbs. per sq. ft. ♦ Acoustical ratings: STC-20 thru STC-31 ♦ Limp, flexible, formable, versatile ♦ High tear and tensile strength ♦ For industrial, construction, commercial, residential and OEM applications Barricade™ Flexible Noise Barriers are available in a variety of styles to meet a multitude of applications. Non-Reinforced Barriers: B-10NR ♦ 1 lb. PSF non-reinforced loaded vinyl noise barrier ♦ Low-cost, often used between dry wall and stud construction to substantially improve transmission loss between rooms (see photo) ♦ Used as the barrier septum material in acoustical curtain and foam composites ♦ An economic acoustical pipe or duct wrap ♦ Utilized as a rooftop equipment noise barrier ♦ Used as a noise barrier ceiling tile (typically in conjunction with a fiberglass decoupler) above standard suspended ceiling systems ♦ Used underneath carpeting to improve transmission loss of floor

B-5NR ♦ 1/2 lb. PSF version of the above ♦ Used where weight restrictions require a lighter weight barrier 2"x4" Wood Stud B-20NR ♦ 2 lb. PSF version of the above B-10NR ♦ For applications requiring greater noise reduction, especially at lower frequencies

B-10CLA Dry Wall ♦ 1 lb. PSF non-reinforced flexible loaded vinyl noise barrier ♦ Class A (1) flammability rating per ASTM E-84 (surface burning characteristics of building materials) ♦ For commercial, construction, in-plant, residential or OEM requirements

B-10 NR attached to studs before drywall is installed will significantly reduce noise transmission between rooms.

Reinforced Barriers: B-10R ♦ 1 lb. PSF reinforced loaded vinyl noise barrier ♦ High-strength polyester fabric reinforcement is utilized in the center of the barrier to dramatically improve its durability, tear and hanging strength ♦ Excellent outdoor UV and weather resistance ♦ Can serve as accordion fold access door ♦ Used as a free hanging acoustical curtain panel, typically with grommets at the top and hook and loop fasteners along each edge (see photo) ♦ When used in combination with a Quilted Fiberglass Sound Absorber, (BBC-13, BBC-13-2"F) can offer STC Ratings up to 32 (See Bulletin SS101) ♦ Standard color is gray. Tan and blue are also available

B-5R ♦ 1/2 lb. PSF reinforced loaded vinyl B-10R Flexible Noise Barrier material fabricated into Acoustical Curtain Panels ♦ Same properties as above, utilized where weight restriction require a lighter with grommets at top and hook and loop fasteners sewn along each edge. weight material Pipe and Duct Lagging: B-10 LAG ♦ 1 lb. PSF reinforced-foil faced loaded vinyl noise barrier ♦ Acoustical wrap for noisy pipes, duct work, valves, heat exchangers ♦ Easy to cut, wrap and install with matching lag tape ♦ May be combined with quilted fiberglass decoupler to improve acoustical performance, thermal conductivity and lower installation costs ♦ Class A flammability rating requirements per ASTM E-84 ♦ Durable reinforced foil facing serves as protective jacket as well as readily accepts matching tape B-10 LAG/QFA-3 Acoustical Pipe Lag installed on 12" diameter pipe with matching lag tape. See Sound Seal bulletin SS-105 for additional information.

Transparent Barriers: ♦ Flexible transparent barrier materials offer significant noise reduction while allowing for visibility and easy access ♦ Also utilized to reduce heat and cold loss between areas ♦ Sheet material is often utilized as a view window in Sound Seal Acoustical Curtain Panels ♦ CV strip doors are often incorporated into Acoustical Curtain Enclosures for easy access ♦ Mounting angles and hardware are also available.

♦ Furnished in three standard products: B-10 CV B-7.5 CV B-5 CV ♦ 1 lb. PSF ♦ 3/4 lb. PSF ♦ 1/2 lb. PSF ♦ 16" wide strips ♦ 12" wide strips ♦ 8" wide strips ♦ 48" wide sheets ♦ 48" wide sheets ♦ 48" wide sheets Clear vinyl strip installed on loading dock door allows easy access ♦ Curtain panels with grommets ♦ Custom-sized ♦ Custom-sized while offering thermal protection and noise reduction. at top and velcro edges fabrications fabrications ♦ Custom-sized window covers
